    It’s so funny when people don’t have any blockers and the same websites you visit just look like online casinos.

      I honestly don’t know how they do it. Whenever I get handed someone else’s device without an adblocker I find it almost painful to try and use.

      Like a late-stage GeoCities website when the server-side Javascript injection had gotten completely out of hand.

    And then try using a VPN and you’re like some kind of criminal and you have to identify 37 crosswalks and busses. And that shit’s all broken anyway so you have to do it again when their integration with whatever captcha service is fucking up.

    I wouldn’t even mind ads if they weren’t so obtrusive. The ones that take up 70% of your screen between one liners are the worst.

    Advertisers should pay people to watch ads, why do they expect attention for free?

      They pay the business who owns the ad space, who in turns pays the website or app for their space. You pay for the app or website content by watching the ad.

      It’s a terrible model, but you are being paid (in content) for watching ads.

        Yuck no, I pay for the content not the ads. That implicit arrangement is false advertising then
